Much Ado about a New Rug

A few weeks ago, Kyle and I were scouring the big box stores- Lowes, Home Depot, Ace, Menards- for a faucet. While in these stores, my eyes wandered. In Lowes, I found some curtains I just had to try in the living room. Menards had beef jerky, milk, and Cheerios; I thought that was weird. Menards also had a decorative area rug for $15 that I just couldn't pass up. Check out that pattern!!! It immediately reminded me of Young House Love.

The dimensions of the rug are 3'3" X 4'11." Awkward, right? Since the rug arrived in my house a few weeks ago, it has been all over the place. First in the living room. It was obviously too small for the space.

Then it moved to the bedroom. Replacing a lighter colored rug we had in front of our bed. It's a good size, but it seemed too dark.

So then I tried it in the hallway. Nope; didn't work there. Plus, as Kyle reminded me, carpets hallways don't really need rugs.

Next I moved it to a spot where I knew it would be too big, but in a laundry room, who cares, right? The verdict is- I LIKE IT!

Here's a before shot of the rug that was in there. It was free from the in-laws and served us well for a year and a half
